I don’t have any police officer friends at the moment. So I have to use the vocabulary I learn from television and movies to fill in their dialogue.
In this day and age, we hear over and over again that police dramas and procedurals are rife with inaccurate science, outlandish technology, and absurd conversations and situations.
I believe it. Over the years I’ve seen television shows about cartoonists come and go. That is to say, I’ve seen television shows about people who occasionally say they’re cartoonists. If the wild inaccuracies of the cartoon sitcoms (Ted Knight drawing his comic strip with a puppet on his drawing hand, holding the pencil in its mouth, for instance) are anything like the wild inaccuracies of police shows, then it’s entirely possible that none of us have the slightest idea what policemen and women do or say all day long.
I have said all that in order to say all this: I apologize if police officers don’t actually travel a ‘beat’ while on duty.
I can ask our finest if they do patrol a beat if you want. I talk to them on occasion as I have to go on weird hour walks at times.
So we get to see how the outside world looks at Hubris and Co, interesting indeed. More to come… definitely.
If Pam is lurking nearby, she may have the start of a new triathlon promotion.
Triathlon of what? Scarfing down donuts, slurping coffee and sharing gossip?
Involving Pam bringing in the cat type jaguar.
Can still happen lol
Sounds about like some of the cops I know.
Sounds like a typical episode of “Chicago PD”.
Son. I’ve seen things that will SCAR a man.. These idiots doing Kung Fu in KAYAKS!!..
I too wouldn’t rule out a jungle cat (or some other wild creature) turning up on the scene. Long ago I concluded that nothing is too bizarre to be beyond possibility in real life, so why would I expect less in Hubris’s world? Though you’d be hard put to top the double-barrel antics of Dub and Cthula. (But I’ll bet that sooner or later, something WILL.)
Don’t Officers Pettigrew and Tuckett have more important — note: not better! — things to do? Nah… as long as they have no actual crimes to attend to at the moment, they’re entitled to enjoy their coffee and donuts while watching the long-running Outdoor Galore Follies. As I’m sure all present would agree, the Hubrisphere is just so danged entertaining!
